Pope Militiades (250-10 January 314) was Pope from 310 to 314, succeeding Pope Eusebius and preceding Pope Sylvester I.

Biography
Militiades was born in 250 AD in North Africa to a family of Romanized Berbers, and in 310 he succeeded Pope Eusebius as Pope after Maxentius exiled him. In 312 Constantine the Great became emperor following his defeat and killing of Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge in Rome, and Constantine presented Militiades with the Lateran Palace, as Constantine converted to Christianity following a "sign from god" that carried him through Milvian Bridge victoriously. In 313 Constantine and Licinius agreed to grant religious freedom to Christians, and Militiades died peacefully in 314.
